One of the places I have spent some time walking in is the New England area of N.S.W. Though many of the places are well listed at tourist information centres, others are rarely visited and here I have to thank my friends in the area, particularly Frank Low, for opening my eyes to some of the fabulous scenery in this place. The above shots were taken near a place called Boundary Falls.


This shot won a prize and is of the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park taken from Enmore



It's not all deep gorges though, in some places there are some lovely serene river views, such as this one near Boggabri.



This is a photo of the typical granite country you find in the New England area and was taken on private property. My friend Frank is on the right.

This is the country we hiked through to get to the granite outcrop. It's almost like a painting due to the backlighting effect.
One time I camped overnight at Dangars Falls and awoke before dawn to get out into the morning mist.  It was a joy walking around with ghostly like images popping up.


Then I went for a walk over to Mihi Falls, catching the robins in their first forays for food and the brush-tailed rock wallaby heading for shelter for the day.

When I first got to Mihi lookout, you couldn't even see the trees in front of you, but 15 minutes later the mist was blown away by the eddies scurrying along the valley floor.
